' MEAT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 8, 1913.

Application filed May 18, 1912. Serial No. 698,324.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUsTAF L. EASTMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Meat-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention, is to construct a meat hanger in which the meat is supported by hooks entering one side of the meat and the meat held on the hooks by a bail.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is an edge elevation. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the link connections between the hook supportand bail. Fig. i is a perspective View of one of the hooks in connection with its support.

The bail or main support comprises the lower bar 1, end bars 2, sections 3 parallel with the lower bar 1, and from the inner ends of these sections 8 extend ends 4 parallel with the ends 2. The hook 5 is formed of the wire forming the bail having a twisted section 6 with its branches 7 connected with the ends 4.

A plate 8 supports a series of hooks 9 connected with the plate by passing through it and turned over one edge of the plate and bent over the main portion of the hook as shown at Fig. 4:. This plate is supported from the sections 3 of the bail by the double ended links 10 hooked in connection with the sections 3 and passing through perforation:- in the plate 8. This plate 8 can swing in connection with the bail through the link connection.

In use, the hooks 9 are inserted through the rind of the bacon 11 and in hanging the bail up by the hook 5, the bacon will rest against the lower bar 1 of the bail, which will prevent the dropping of the bacon. The ends 4 hold the links 10 from a sliding movement on the sections 3 in order that the plate 8 may be located centrally of the length of the bail.

I claim as my invention:

1. A meat hanger comprising a bail formed with a hook and with stop projections, a plate provided with hooks, and links connecting the plate and bail and held against a shifting movement by the stop projections.

2. A meat hanger comprising a bail in loop form having stop .projections, and a supporting hook, a plate provided with hooks pointing toward the bail, and links connecting the plate and bail and held against a shifting movement by the stop projections.

In testimony my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
